Privacy-friendly integration of maps provided by Google Maps in Joomla! articles
With this plugin, you can add Google Maps easily and privacy-friendly into your Joomla articles using a simple syntax!
Maps are replaced by a preview image with a play button and loaded once the user has clicked on the button. No data is transferred to Google without the consent of the user.
Features
- Adds maps from Google Maps privacy-friendly and easily in Joomla! articles
- Protects the privacy of your visitors - data is only transferred after a click
- Improves loading performance - content is only loaded after a click
- Easy to use syntax -
{map}ID{/map}
- You may set a custom preview image of the map directly in the syntax
Installation
Install 2 Click Google Maps with the help of the Installer component as usual. Then activate the plugin in System -> Plugins -> Content - 2 Click Google Maps.
The syntax {map}IFRAME-LINK{/map}
triggers the plugin execution in articles. The ID is the link of the embed iframe (src attribute).
Where to find the link of the map iframe?
Select your map detail on maps.google.com, select "Share or embed map", the tab "Embed a map", copy the entire iframe code and extract the content of the src attribute (starts with https://www.google.com/maps/embed?x).
Use the entire embed URL with the {map} syntax where you want to add the map. You can also use the syntax in an HTML module if the "Prepare content" option is enabled.
You may set four additional options directly in the syntax for the specified map source. The first option is the map iframe src attribute, the second option is a custom image, the third option is the width, the fourth option is the height of the map, and the fifth option is a title used as a title tag to improve accessibility.
Examples of how you can use the plugin in the content component:
{map}https://www.google.com/maps/embed?x{/map}
{map}https://www.google.com/maps/embed?x|images/custom-image.jpg{/map}
{map}https://www.google.com/maps/embed?x|images/custom-image.jpg|600|400{/map}
{map}https://www.google.com/maps/embed?x||800|600{/map}
{map}https://www.google.com/maps/embed?x||||Title of the map{/map}

If you encounter an error message related to the token, download the Pro version with your Pro subscription from the linked download page and install it again!
